"In the nascent days of my scholarly pursuits, I found myself adrift in a sea of tomes, each grappling with the enigma of our place within the vast, indifferent cosmos—a world forsaken by its divine architects. Those venerable authors and sages of yore bequeathed me more riddles than revelations, much to the vexation of my youthful mind. Driven by an unquenchable thirst for clarity, I endeavored to pen a tome that would extinguish the flames of curiosity once and for all. Yet, dear reader, I must confess that I now tread the very path of those I once spurned. The answers elude me still. However, within these pages, I have endeavored to gather a pillar of knowledge—a mosaic, albeit incomplete, of the reality that surrounds us. I invite you to peruse this work and perhaps, in time, you will piece together the fragments that I could not."
